So I've been messing with the new ID'L for a few tours now and I really like it. The only thing I'm slightly confused about is the button on the handle. I can't seem to figure out what benefit it does or doesn't create. Anyone more familiar with this part of the device's function?

Skip ahead to 6:00 and all will be explained."Nemo Plus Voluptatis Quam Nos Habant"

The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

This button is not to be used for a vertical decent, doing this would defeat the purpose of the anti panic function.

Depress this button to make the decent smoother.
